200 GA drive for WP:AUS

Hi there \/. Grahamec gave me your name as a recent producer of a Australian GA - Damien Kingsbury. Well, we're within striking distance of 200 GAs at the moment and we decided to have a go at getting to 200 by the end of the year or Australia Day, same as the 100 drive last year. Hope to see you there at WP:AWNB/A and WP:AWNB ! YellowMonkey (bananabucket) 05:32, 10 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the note. I might try and find an Australian article to get to soon, I'm currently working on another project at the moment however. \ / (⁂) 05:37, 10 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Garden Gnomes dyk nom

Hey \/, I noticed you commented at the Garden Gnomes Liberationists nomination about how the article is at AfD... that is true right now (I'm the one who brought it there), but it's looking like it's already guaranteed to be closed as keep. Personally I still think the article has a lot of problems with tone, etc. (although Cbl52 and ChildofMidnight have made herculean efforts cleaning up most of those problems), which might bar it from DYK, but it's not my place to comment. Anyway, I have chosen not to edit DYK pages for a little while, so I'm just leaving you this message to let you know. Hope all is well, —Politizer ^talk/_contribs 05:31, 11 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No worries, when the AfD is passed I'm sure that the nomination will be updated. I just wanted to note that so editors don't waste their time verifying a hook that really shouldn't be verified until after the AfD has been closed. \ / (⁂) 05:36, 11 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Also, please return to DYK soon. :) \ / (⁂) 05:38, 11 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

(ec) Ok, that's a good idea. Thanks for keeping an eye out. —Politizer ^talk/_contribs 05:38, 11 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Internet Safety

If you really are 4 years old, I say you talk to your parents about internet safety and remove that userbox that says you are 4 years old. There are people on Wikipedia that prey on children. They act like they are going to be your friend and they may say to meet them somewhere. Then they do the worst they could possibly do. Kidnap.

If you really believe I'm four years old you shouldn't be on the internet. ;) \ / (⁂) 13:02, 11 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

MS Hans Hedtoft

Has this article been expanded enough to nom for DYK? Mjroots (talk) 09:47, 12 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, there is no issues with the length of the expansion. In order to qualify as a 'new' article, the amount of characters must be expanded five times. Before you're expansion, the article was 494 characters, and it is now 3065 characters, well past the 2470 that would be needed. If you have any questions regarding this, please let me know. :) \ / (⁂) 10:33, 12 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Prose size

Providing you with this link in case you don't know about it: User talk:Dr pda/prosesize.js, as it is very useful. (In one FAC recently, the formatted references were more kilobytes than the prose size (text only)!) You can stick the script in your monobook.js. If you don't use IE, then the image part doesn't work but you can use Website Optimization.com for the images. Forgive me, if you already know all this stuff!

I have it, use it, and love it. Works great in Google Chrome. I'm just staying neutral on the issue that it should be used at DYK. I was just trying to point out to O.R that by using it Politizer wasn't trying to decrease the count. Personally, I think it should be the standard, but Ottava has made a point DYK shouldn't necessarily ignore. \ / (⁂ | ※) 01:57, 14 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Just hate to see this issue grow. I will be sad if we have to fall back on "rules" at DYK. But the day will probably come, sooner rather than later! I have great respect for Politizer. —Mattisse (Talk) 04:45, 14 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Improper closure

You closed a proposal discussion. This is a very serious issue and it is up at Village Pump Proposals. You are negating the guidelines at consensus by closing it before even 24 hours. This is extremely improper. Either you revert your action, or this will be reverted as negating the proper format of consensus. This is clearly not SNOW, as there are at least two supports within the first 6 hours. Ottava Rima (talk) 16:10, 14 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
